"In this location, surrounded as it is with large restaurants spilling out onto the pavement with their me-too menus of les pizzas and pâtes and overly familiar sounding meals, it is most unexpected to find a bespoke and personal restaurant offering a fine selection of dishes cooked with care. The menu, described appropriately as the 'carte du moment' presents a mercifully small number of seasonal and therefore changing entrées, plats and desserts. However, it is still hard to choose. Each one is enticing, interesting and original with the promise of flavours, combinations of ingredients and textures, without tricks and unnecessary embellishment. For a large number, a selection of all the entrées as share dishes makes a lot of sense. Everyone gets a taste of something and the difficulty of having to choose is avoided. For the plats, a single selection is best with pork, duck, tuna and salmon along with risotto as options on the night we were there. A fine burger also available is perhaps a concession to the location and, actually, a very fine dish. Four desserts are offered with each one tempting and beautifully prepared. Another selection for the table is highly recommended. The wine list is adequate and the ambiance works for lone dining as well as for a larger and more raucous group. The service is smiling and efficient as well as courteous. This is a place to make a favourite. The risk to this reviewer is that it will become deservedly highly popular and impossible for last minute bookings."

"Located on a tiny little road in old Antibes, this place is a gem! Their sliders are delicious, and great to start off with one of their homemade “Moonshine” shots. They specialize in a variety of grilled cheese other) sandwiches. Just like your Mom...used to make! I’ve been twice in one week will be returning again soon. Had the grilled pimiento cheese sandwich as well as the pastrami, both delicious. Don’t miss the side of mac cheese or the well-stocked hot sauce bar! The decor is funky American loft/rock, the background music very cool too. Top it off with the nicest service owner — they were especially accommodating of me with a giant cast on my arm), this is a place not to miss!"

"Lovely cosy restaurant with very good service and tasty dishes. We booked in advance (reservations highly recommended) and arrived earlier than opening time, but they were kind and let us in and prepared the table. Menu is simple with 3 starters, 3 main dishes and desserts, wine list is also very good. The dishes were absolutely fantastic, very tasty and well prepared. We shared 2 starters and 2 desserts (for four) and had each a main course, plus a bottle a wine and sparkling water, 200€. Would definitely recommend!"

"It is a chef who cooks with passion to prepare such good dishes, everything is fresh and especially they are local products, for me it is a gourmet cuisine. For desserts it is simply extraordinary that I have no other words. The service is irreproachable. Thank you to Christelle and Thibault for this beautiful evening."

"We took the discovery menu at 89 Euros with a wine-mets agreement at 56 Euros per person. The kitchen is inventive without being overrated. It is precise and original. The cooking was perfect with a small flat on the slightly overcooked poultry. The wines served were perfectly in agreement with the dishes and the correct price regarding their quality. Too often, it is the weak element in this sense that we feel that it is a way to empty stocks. This impression is not confirmed."
